5.0 out of 5 stars Mermaid night-light, April 21, 2010

This was an impulse buy that paid off. My first view of the night-light was in a national magazine, pictured in the writer's favorite things. For such a small price, I now have a fine piece of art. When lit, it's even more beautiful than the picture. The light was also delivered speedily and without damage.

Mermaid & Moon Porcelain Lithophane Nightlight By Artist : David Delamare

I found a young artist named David Delamare back in 1993 and fell in love with ALL his work. I am obsessed with Mermaids so when I discovered these wonderful porcelain night lights with the Mermaids he had originally painted...I happily bought a few. I gave some as gifts but kept this one plus 2 lithophane lamps. They are truly beautiful because the porcelain is thicker in some places and thinner in others. This gives them the quality of a glowing photograph. It is fun knowing they were originally made to be put in front of a candle in the early 1800-1900's.
This is a purchase of something I will keep forever and try and pass down to my children and grandchildren. So, if you love Mermaids, night lights, and the beauty of David Delamare paintings...BUY a few!! I paid well over $10.00 more for mine so you will be getting a good bargain too

This review is from: Mermaid & Moon Porcelain Lithophane Nightlight By Artist : David Delamare

These are fragile but they would be perfect in a child's bedroom or child's bathroom if placed high enough.
I am using them in an older person's home to light the hall ways and the bath room at night. I also purchased the "Tropical Moonlight". The light is very gentle to allow non interruption of sleep but yet bright enough to light the way.
They are in themselves a work of art when they are turned on. When they are off, you'd think they weren't as beautiful as they are at night.
The only issue I had with the company I purchased them from was that they charged for each and every item in the total purchase rather then combining shipping (eg. I ordered 2 of the nightlights and paid $3.50+ for each of them to be shipped - in the SAME package).
Otherwise, well worth the purchase.
